Time to move on from Bordeaux

An excellent and timely article in the New York Times this week:


"...Bordeaux, once the world’s most hallowed region and the standard-bearer for all fine wines, is now largely irrelevant."

We simply have to move on from this Bordeaux obsession in the UK wine trade. Red, overpriced and popular in China. What more do you need to know?


[Although I do confess to a soft spot for the dry and sweet whites - some vague attempt at value there]
